Journal ArticleDOI
The Product Specificities of Maize Terpene Synthases TPS4 and TPS10 Are Determined both by Active Site Amino Acids and Residues Adjacent to the Active Site
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the different product specificities of TPS4 and TPS10 are determined not only by amino acids forming the active site cavity, but also by neighboring residues that influence the conformation of active site amino acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of methyl (E)-cinnamate in the liverwort Conocephalum salebrosum and evolution of cinnamic acid methyltransferase
Chi Zhang,Xinlu Chen,Barbara Crandall-Stotler,Ping Qian,Tobias G. Köllner,Hong Guo,Feng Chen +6 more
TL;DR: In phylogenetic analysis, CsCAMT and ObCCMT1 were in different clades, implying that methyl (E)-cinnamate biosynthesis in bryophytes and flowering plants originated through convergent evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and Biosynthesis of Volatile Terpenoid Secondary Metabolites in the Chrysanthemum Genus
Yifan Jiang,Wanbo Zhang,Xinlu Chen,Weijiao Wang,Tobias G. Köllner,Sumei Chen,Fadi Chen,Feng Chen +7 more
TL;DR: Chrysanthemum is a significant genus belonging to one of the largest plant families, the Asteraceae as mentioned in this paper, and is best known for its long history of cultivations.
Patent
Polynucleotides encoding caryophyllene synthase and uses thereof
TL;DR: In this paper, polynucleotides encoding a caryophyllene synthase were described as recombinant nucleic acid molecules and vectors and corresponding methods for the production of transgenic plant cells, plant tissues and plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of iridoid sex pheromones in aphids
Tobias G. Köllner,Anja David,Katrin Luck,Franziska Beran,Grit Kunert,Jing J. Zhou,Lorenzo Caputi,Sarah E. O'Connor +7 more
TL;DR: The discovery of this complex insect metabolic pathway establishes the genetic and biochemical basis for the formation of iridoid sex pheromones in aphids and this discovery also serves as a foundation for understanding the convergent evolution of complex metabolic pathways between kingdoms.
